Election 2024 questions answered: How much will the youth vote affect the 2024 election?

Q: How impactful was the youth vote (voters between 18 and 24) in 2020? And on what front(s)? Wondering how much of a difference it made and what will be important to work towards in 2024.

A: The youth vote definitely made a difference in 2020, surpassing turnout in 2016.

And we know that young voters were also enthusiastic about voting in the 2022 midterms.

"About 1 in 8 voters overall were under 30, and more than half supported Democratic candidates in the midterm elections, according to early exit polling and AP VoteCast. But support for Democrats among young voters, while still running well ahead of their support for Republicans, eroded somewhat from the 2018 midterms," The Post's Samantha Chery reported.

One thing we noticed when The Post's Dylan Wells was reporting on the Georgia runoff with student voters of this age group is that voters of both parties say their party needs to work on engagement to turn out the youth vote, including in 2024.

It's actually a common theme we've heard from this demographic before while reporting across the country.
